A brief summary of the Elementary level breakout room discussion on Jan 8:

• Computational Literacy is foundational for all students and at all ages (PK+)
• Standardizing CS vocabulary across content areas is critical. CS is everywhere in our world today, therefore it should be everywhere in our educational system.
• "Computational thinking is a fundamental skill for everyone, not just for computer scientists. To reading, writing, and arithmetic, we should add computational thinking to every child's analytical ability." Jeannette Wing
